Book 19 Psalms

19:001:001 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the
ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in
the seat of the scornful.

19:001:002 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth
he meditate day and night.

19:001:003 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also
shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

19:001:004 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind
driveth away.

19:001:005 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor
sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

19:001:006 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of
the ungodly shall perish.

19:002:001 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

19:002:002 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take
counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed,
saying,

19:002:003 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords
from us.

19:002:004 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall
have them in derision.

19:002:005 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in
his sore displeasure.

19:002:006 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

19:002:007 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou
art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

19:002:008 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine
inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy
possession.

19:002:009 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them
in pieces like a potter's vessel.

19:002:010 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of
the earth.

19:002:011 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

19:002:012 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way,
when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they
that put their trust in him.

19:003:001 Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they
that rise up against me.

19:003:002 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him
in God. Selah.

19:003:003 But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the
lifter up of mine head.

19:003:004 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of
his holy hill. Selah.

19:003:005 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.

19:003:006 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set
themselves against me round about.

19:003:007 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all
mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth
of the ungodly.

19:003:008 Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy
people. Selah.

19:004:001 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast
enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and
hear my prayer.

19:004:002 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame?
how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.

19:004:003 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for
himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.

19:004:004 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon
your bed, and be still. Selah.

19:004:005 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in
the LORD.

19:004:006 There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift
thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

19:004:007 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that
their corn and their wine increased.

19:004:008 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD,
only makest me dwell in safety.

19:005:001 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.

19:005:002 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for
unto thee will I pray.

19:005:003 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the
morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

19:005:004 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness:
neither shall evil dwell with thee.

19:005:005 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all
workers of iniquity.

19:005:006 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will
abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

19:005:007 But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of
thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy
temple.

19:005:008 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies;
make thy way straight before my face.

19:005:009 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part
is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they
flatter with their tongue.

19:005:010 Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels;
cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for
they have rebelled against thee.

19:005:011 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let
them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them
also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

19:005:012 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt
thou compass him as with a shield.

19:006:001 O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in
thy hot displeasure.

19:006:002 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me;
for my bones are vexed.

19:006:003 My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?

19:006:004 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies'
sake.

19:006:005 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who
shall give thee thanks?

19:006:006 I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to
swim; I water my couch with my tears.

19:006:007 Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because
of all mine enemies.

19:006:008 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath
heard the voice of my weeping.

19:006:009 The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my
prayer.

19:006:010 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them
return and be ashamed suddenly.

19:007:001 O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all
them that persecute me, and deliver me:

19:007:002 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while
there is none to deliver.

19:007:003 O LORD my God, If I have done this; if there be iniquity in my
hands;

19:007:004 If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me;
(yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)

19:007:005 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him
tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the
dust. Selah.

19:007:006 Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the
rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that
thou hast commanded.

19:007:007 So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about:
for their sakes therefore return thou on high.

19:007:008 The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according
to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is
in me.

19:007:009 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but
establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts
and reins.

19:007:010 My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.

19:007:011 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked
every day.

19:007:012 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow,
and made it ready.

19:007:013 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he
ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.

19:007:014 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived
mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

19:007:015 He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch
which he made.

19:007:016 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent
dealing shall come down upon his own pate.

19:007:017 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and
will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.

19:008:001 O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

19:008:002 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained
strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still
the enemy and the avenger.

19:008:003 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon
and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

19:008:004 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man,
that thou visitest him?

19:008:005 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and
hast crowned him with glory and honour.

19:008:006 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands;
thou hast put all things under his feet:

19:008:007 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

19:008:008 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever
passeth through the paths of the seas.

19:008:009 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

19:009:001 I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew
forth all thy marvellous works.

19:009:002 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy
name, O thou most High.

19:009:003 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish
at thy presence.

19:009:004 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in
the throne judging right.

19:009:005 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked,
thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.

19:009:006 O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and
thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with
them.

19:009:007 But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his
throne for judgment.

19:009:008 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall
minister judgment to the people in uprightness.

19:009:009 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in
times of trouble.

19:009:010 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for
thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

19:009:011 Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare
among the people his doings.

19:009:012 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he
forgetteth not the cry of the humble.

19:009:013 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer
of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates
of death:

19:009:014 That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the
daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.

19:009:015 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the
net which they hid is their own foot taken.

19:009:016 The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the
wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion.
Selah.

19:009:017 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that
forget God.

19:009:018 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of
the poor shall not perish for ever.

19:009:019 Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged
in thy sight.

19:009:020 Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves
to be but men. Selah.

19:010:001 Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in
times of trouble?

19:010:002 The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be
taken in the devices that they have imagined.

19:010:003 For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth
the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.

19:010:004 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not
seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

19:010:005 His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out
of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

19:010:006 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall
never be in adversity.

19:010:007 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his
tongue is mischief and vanity.

19:010:008 He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the
secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are
privily set against the poor.

19:010:009 He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in
wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he
draweth him into his net.

19:010:010 He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by
his strong ones.

19:010:011 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his
face; he will never see it.

19:010:012 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the
humble.

19:010:013 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his
heart, Thou wilt not require it.

19:010:014 Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to
requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto
thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.

19:010:015 Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out
his wickedness till thou find none.

19:010:016 The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished
out of his land.

19:010:017 LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt
prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:

19:010:018 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the
earth may no more oppress.

19:011:001 In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a
bird to your mountain?

19:011:002 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their
arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the
upright in heart.

19:011:003 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?

19:011:004 The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD's throne is in
heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.

19:011:005 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that
loveth violence his soul hateth.

19:011:006 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and
an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.

19:011:007 For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance
doth behold the upright.

19:012:001 Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail
from among the children of men.

19:012:002 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with
flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.

19:012:003 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue
that speaketh proud things:

19:012:004 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are
our own: who is lord over us?

19:012:005 For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy,
now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety
from him that puffeth at him.

19:012:006 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a
furnace of earth, purified seven times.

19:012:007 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from
this generation for ever.

19:012:008 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are
exalted.

19:013:001 How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt
thou hide thy face from me?

19:013:002 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my
heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

19:013:003 Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I
sleep the sleep of death;

19:013:004 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those
that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

19:013:005 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy
salvation.

19:013:006 I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully
with me.

19:014:001 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are
corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that
doeth good.

19:014:002 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to
see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.

19:014:003 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy:
there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

19:014:004 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my
people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.

19:014:005 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of
the righteous.

19:014:006 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is
his refuge.

19:014:007 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when
the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob
shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

19:015:001 Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in
thy holy hill?

19:015:002 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and
speaketh the truth in his heart.

19:015:003 He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his
neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.

19:015:004 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth
them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and
changeth not.

19:015:005 He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward
against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never
be moved.

19:016:001 Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.

19:016:002 O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my
goodness extendeth not to thee;

19:016:003 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent,
in whom is all my delight.

19:016:004 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another
god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take
up their names into my lips.

19:016:005 The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup:
thou maintainest my lot.

19:016:006 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a
goodly heritage.

19:016:007 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins
also instruct me in the night seasons.

19:016:008 I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my
right hand, I shall not be moved.

19:016:009 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh
also shall rest in hope.

19:016:010 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou
suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

19:016:011 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness
of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

19:017:001 Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my
prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.

19:017:002 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes
behold the things that are equal.

19:017:003 Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the
night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am
purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.

19:017:004 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have
kept me from the paths of the destroyer.

19:017:005 Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.

19:017:006 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline
thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.

19:017:007 Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy
right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that
rise up against them.

19:017:008 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of
thy wings,

19:017:009 From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who
compass me about.

19:017:010 They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they
speak proudly.

19:017:011 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their
eyes bowing down to the earth;

19:017:012 Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a
young lion lurking in secret places.

19:017:013 Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul
from the wicked, which is thy sword:

19:017:014 From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world,
which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou
fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and
leave the rest of their substance to their babes.

19:017:015 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be
satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.

19:018:001 I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.

19:018:002 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my
God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the
horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

19:018:003 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so
shall I be saved from mine enemies.

19:018:004 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly
men made me afraid.

19:018:005 The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death
prevented me.

19:018:006 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God:
he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before
him, even into his ears.

19:018:007 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the
hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.

19:018:008 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his
mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.

19:018:009 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was
under his feet.

19:018:010 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon
the wings of the wind.

19:018:011 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about
him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

19:018:012 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed,
hail stones and coals of fire.

19:018:013 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave
his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.

19:018:014 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot
out lightnings, and discomfited them.

19:018:015 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of
the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast
of the breath of thy nostrils.

19:018:016 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.

19:018:017 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which
hated me: for they were too strong for me.

19:018:018 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was
my stay.

19:018:019 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me,
because he delighted in me.

19:018:020 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according
to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

19:018:021 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly
departed from my God.

19:018:022 For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away
his statutes from me.

19:018:023 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine
iniquity.

19:018:024 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my
righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his
eyesight.

19:018:025 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an
upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;

19:018:026 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the
froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.

19:018:027 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down
high looks.

19:018:028 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten
my darkness.

19:018:029 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I
leaped over a wall.

19:018:030 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried:
he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

19:018:031 For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?

19:018:032 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way
perfect.

19:018:033 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my
high places.

19:018:034 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken
by mine arms.

19:018:035 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy
right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me
great.

19:018:036 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not
slip.

19:018:037 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I
turn again till they were consumed.

19:018:038 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are
fallen under my feet.

19:018:039 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou
hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

19:018:040 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I
might destroy them that hate me.

19:018:041 They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the
LORD, but he answered them not.

19:018:042 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did
cast them out as the dirt in the streets.

19:018:043 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and
thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I
have not known shall serve me.

19:018:044 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers
shall submit themselves unto me.

19:018:045 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their
close places.

19:018:046 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my
salvation be exalted.

19:018:047 It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.

19:018:048 He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up
above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me
from the violent man.

19:018:049 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the
heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.

19:018:050 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to
his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.

19:019:001 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament
sheweth his handywork.

19:019:002 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth
knowledge.

19:019:003 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not
heard.

19:019:004 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words
to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for
the sun,

19:019:005 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and
rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.

19:019:006 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit
unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat
thereof.

19:019:007 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the
testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

19:019:008 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the
commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

19:019:009 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the
judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.

19:019:010 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine
gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

19:019:011 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them
there is great reward.

19:019:012 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret
faults.

19:019:013 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them
not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I
shall be innocent from the great transgression.

19:019:014 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be
acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

19:020:001 The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God
of Jacob defend thee;

19:020:002 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of
Zion;

19:020:003 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice;
Selah.

19:020:004 Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy
counsel.

19:020:005 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God
we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfil all thy petitions.

19:020:006 Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him
from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right
hand.

19:020:007 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will
remember the name of the LORD our God.

19:020:008 They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand
upright.

19:020:009 Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.

19:021:001 The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy
salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

19:021:002 Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not
withholden the request of his lips. Selah.

19:021:003 For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou
settest a crown of pure gold on his head.

19:021:004 He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of
days for ever and ever.

19:021:005 His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast
thou laid upon him.

19:021:006 For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made
him exceeding glad with thy countenance.

19:021:007 For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of
the most High he shall not be moved.

19:021:008 Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand
shall find out those that hate thee.

19:021:009 Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine
anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the
fire shall devour them.

19:021:010 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed
from among the children of men.

19:021:011 For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a
mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.

19:021:012 Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou
shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the
face of them.

19:021:013 Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing
and praise thy power.

19:022:001 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far
from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?

19:022:002 O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in
the night season, and am not silent.

19:022:003 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of
Israel.

19:022:004 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst
deliver them.

19:022:005 They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in
thee, and were not confounded.

19:022:006 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised
of the people.

19:022:007 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the
lip, they shake the head, saying,

19:022:008 He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him
deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.

19:022:009 But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make
me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.

19:022:010 I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my
mother's belly.

19:022:011 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to
help.

19:022:012 Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have
beset me round.

19:022:013 They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a
roaring lion.

19:022:014 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint:
my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.

19:022:015 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue
cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of
death.

19:022:016 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have
inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

19:022:017 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.

19:022:018 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my
vesture.

19:022:019 But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee
to help me.

19:022:020 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of
the dog.

19:022:021 Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the
horns of the unicorns.

19:022:022 I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the
congregation will I praise thee.

19:022:023 Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob,
glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.

19:022:024 For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the
afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he
cried unto him, he heard.

19:022:025 My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will
pay my vows before them that fear him.

19:022:026 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the
LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.

19:022:027 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the
LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before
thee.

19:022:028 For the kingdom is the LORD's: and he is the governor among
the nations.

19:022:029 All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all
they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none
can keep alive his own soul.

19:022:030 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for
a generation.

19:022:031 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a
people that shall be born, that he hath done this.

19:023:001 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

19:023:002 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me
beside the still waters.

19:023:003 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of
righteousness for his name's sake.

19:023:004 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy
staff they comfort me.

19:023:005 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine
enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

19:023:006 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my
life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

19:024:001 The earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof; the world,
and they that dwell therein.

19:024:002 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon
the floods.

19:024:003 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand
in his holy place?

19:024:004 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not
lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

19:024:005 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness
from the God of his salvation.

19:024:006 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy
face, O Jacob. Selah.

19:024:007 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye
everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

19:024:008 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the
LORD mighty in battle.

19:024:009 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye
everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

19:024:010 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King
of glory. Selah.

19:025:001 Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.

19:025:002 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine
enemies triumph over me.

19:025:003 Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be
ashamed which transgress without cause.

19:025:004 Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.

19:025:005 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my
salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

19:025:006 Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses;
for they have been ever of old.

19:025:007 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions:
according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness'
sake, O LORD.

19:025:008 Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners
in the way.

19:025:009 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach
his way.

19:025:010 All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as
keep his covenant and his testimonies.

19:025:011 For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is
great.

19:025:012 What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in
the way that he shall choose.

19:025:013 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the
earth.

19:025:014 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will
shew them his covenant.

19:025:015 Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet
out of the net.

19:025:016 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate
and afflicted.

19:025:017 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of
my distresses.

19:025:018 Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my
sins.

19:025:019 Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me
with cruel hatred.

19:025:020 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I
put my trust in thee.

19:025:021 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.

19:025:022 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.

19:026:001 Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have
trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.

19:026:002 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

19:026:003 For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked
in thy truth.

19:026:004 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with
dissemblers.

19:026:005 I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit
with the wicked.

19:026:006 I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine
altar, O LORD:

19:026:007 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of
all thy wondrous works.

19:026:008 LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place
where thine honour dwelleth.

19:026:009 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:

19:026:010 In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of
bribes.

19:026:011 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and
be merciful unto me.

19:026:012 My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I
bless the LORD.

19:027:001 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the
LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

19:027:002 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me
to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

19:027:003 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not
fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be
confident.

19:027:004 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after;
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my
life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his
temple.

19:027:005 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion:
in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set
me up upon a rock.

19:027:006 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round
about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices
of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

19:027:007 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon
me, and answer me.

19:027:008 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee,
Thy face, LORD, will I seek.

19:027:009 Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in
anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake
me, O God of my salvation.

19:027:010 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will
take me up.

19:027:011 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because
of mine enemies.

19:027:012 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false
witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out
cruelty.

19:027:013 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of
the LORD in the land of the living.

19:027:014 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen
thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

19:028:001 Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me:
lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down
into the pit.

19:028:002 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when
I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

19:028:003 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of
iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief
is in their hearts.

19:028:004 Give them according to their deeds, and according to the
wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of
their hands; render to them their desert.

19:028:005 Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the
operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build
them up.

19:028:006 Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my
supplications.

19:028:007 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in
him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth;
and with my song will I praise him.

19:028:008 The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of
his anointed.

19:028:009 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also,
and lift them up for ever.

19:029:001 Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and
strength.

19:029:002 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the
LORD in the beauty of holiness.

19:029:003 The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory
thundereth: the LORD is upon many waters.

19:029:004 The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is
full of majesty.

19:029:005 The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD
breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.

19:029:006 He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion
like a young unicorn.

19:029:007 The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire.

19:029:008 The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh
the wilderness of Kadesh.

19:029:009 The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and
discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one
speak of his glory.

19:029:010 The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King
for ever.

19:029:011 The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will
bless his people with peace.

19:030:001 I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and
hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

19:030:002 O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

19:030:003 O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast
kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

19:030:004 Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the
remembrance of his holiness.

19:030:005 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life:
weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

19:030:006 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.

19:030:007 LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand
strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.

19:030:008 I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made
supplication.

19:030:009 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit?
Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

19:030:010 Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.

19:030:011 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast
put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

19:030:012 To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be
silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

19:031:001 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed:
deliver me in thy righteousness.

19:031:002 Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my
strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.

19:031:003 For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's
sake lead me, and guide me.

19:031:004 Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for
thou art my strength.

19:031:005 Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O
LORD God of truth.

19:031:006 I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in
the LORD.

19:031:007 I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast
considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;

19:031:008 And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast
set my feet in a large room.

19:031:009 Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is
consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.

19:031:010 For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my
strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are
consumed.

19:031:011 I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among
my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did
see me without fled from me.

19:031:012 I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken
vessel.

19:031:013 For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side:
while they took counsel together against me, they devised to
take away my life.

19:031:014 But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God.

19:031:015 My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine
enemies, and from them that persecute me.

19:031:016 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy
mercies' sake.

19:031:017 Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee:
let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the
grave.

19:031:018 Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous
things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

19:031:019 Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them
that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in
thee before the sons of men!

19:031:020 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the
pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from
the strife of tongues.

19:031:021 Blessed be the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvellous
kindness in a strong city.

19:031:022 For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes:
nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when
I cried unto thee.

19:031:023 O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth
the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.

19:031:024 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye
that hope in the LORD.

19:032:001 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is
covered.

19:032:002 Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity,
and in whose spirit there is no guile.

19:032:003 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all
the day long.

19:032:004 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is
turned into the drought of summer. Selah.

19:032:005 I acknowledge my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not
hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD;
and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

19:032:006 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a
time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great
waters they shall not come nigh unto him.

19:032:007 Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble;
thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.

19:032:008 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou
shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

19:032:009 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no
understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and
bridle, lest they come near unto thee.

19:032:010 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in
the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.

19:032:011 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for
joy, all ye that are upright in heart.

19:033:001 Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for
the upright.

19:033:002 Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and
an instrument of ten strings.

19:033:003 Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.

19:033:004 For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done
in truth.

19:033:005 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the
goodness of the LORD.

19:033:006 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the
host of them by the breath of his mouth.

19:033:007 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he
layeth up the depth in storehouses.

19:033:008 Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of
the world stand in awe of him.

19:033:009 For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood
fast.

19:033:010 The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he
maketh the devices of the people of none effect.

19:033:011 The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his
heart to all generations.

19:033:012 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people
whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

19:033:013 The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of
men.

19:033:014 From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the
inhabitants of the earth.

19:033:015 He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their
works.

19:033:016 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty
man is not delivered by much strength.

19:033:017 An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver
any by his great strength.

19:033:018 Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon
them that hope in his mercy;

19:033:019 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in
famine.

19:033:020 Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.

19:033:021 For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in
his holy name.

19:033:022 Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in
thee.

19:034:001 I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall
continually be in my mouth.

19:034:002 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall
hear thereof, and be glad.

19:034:003 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name
together.

19:034:004 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all
my fears.

19:034:005 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were
not ashamed.

19:034:006 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out
of all his troubles.
